Parents of OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney now claim they KNEW cops were monitoring them when they accessed her boyfriend’s computer after she ‘stabbed him to death’ – and claim prosecution has it in for them
The parents of an OnlyFans model who was arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death say they knew police were watching their every move.
Suspected killer Courtney Clenney’s parents, Kim and Deborah Clenney, have now been arrested for accessing their daughter’s boyfriend’s computer, prosecutors say.
The father and mother were taken into custody at their home in Austin, Texas, Tuesday for tampering with evidence. A request was made by police in Miami, where their 27-year-old daughter Christian Obumseli is said to have been stabbed to death in April 2022.
Kim Clenney, 60, is accused of taking crypto trader Obumseli’s computer from the murder scene after it was missed by investigators, before gaining access to it with a password provided by his daughter.
But now a never-before-seen interview with TMZfilmed before the parents’ arrest this week, shows they suspected prosecutors were also after them.
Deborah Clenney told the interviewer: ‘Every word we say to each other is recorded. The prosecutor is playing dirty.”

Kim, her husband, snorted and smiled as Deborah said this to the camera.
She continued, “And I think they would use anything we say to each other.
“They tried to pretend I was manipulating her by texting her, even though it was self-defense.
“So I think they would use everything they could against her.”
Kim Clenney added: “They will do or say anything to win this case.”
The father allegedly handed over the controversial laptop to his daughter’s lawyers after finding nothing but a crypto exchange, TMZ reported, but he was arrested along with his wife for tampering with evidence.
Mugshots of the couple have now been released by officials in Texas, showing the two following their arrest.
The couple will appear virtually in court in Miami for a bail hearing.

The porn star, who has more than two million followers on Instagram, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and remains in jail awaiting trial.
Clenney and Obumseli had been dating for less than two years when he passed away on April 3, 2022.
She was previously arrested for domestic violence in Las Vegas, and police were called to their home in Austin, Texas several times.
The couple moved to Miami earlier this year. Staff and residents of the One Paraiso building where they lived reported multiple complaints of domestic violence and even moved to evict the couple.
When the stabbing occurred, police reports state that officers arrived at their Miami home around 5 p.m. after an aggravated battery call.
She was pictured wearing a blood-soaked coat and sweatpants as Obumseli was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the torso.
He was pronounced dead upon arrival. Clenney initially claimed self-defense to officers and avoided charges.

First responders were confronted with a gruesome scene when they arrived at the couple’s Miami apartment in April 2022 after Clenney stabbed her boyfriend to death.
But just months later, she was charged with Obumseli’s murder while in a drug rehabilitation center in Hawaii.
Earlier this month, it emerged that Clenney was seen with mysterious cuts, bruises and taped fingers during a drunken photo shoot in Aspen, two months before she stabbed her boyfriend to death.
She carried out the drunken photoshoot during the same ski trip where she was seen in shocking footage swearing and hitting the crypto investor.
A person involved in the shoot that left her looking battered and bruised told DailyMail.com: ‘She used Facetune herself to edit blemishes and any imperfections.
“So what you didn’t see in the Instagram photos was that she had a scrape on her arm and it was bleeding, as well as a bandage on her fingers and a missing nail.”
Her lawyers say she acted in self-defense when she stabbed Obumseli, but his family and lawyers say she was the aggressor.
To bolster her self-defense story, Clenney’s attorney previously requested that Obumseli’s body be exhumed and inspected by a medical examiner.
Miami attorney Katherine Fernandez said Clenney claimed to have stabbed Obumseli in the chest after he grabbed her by the throat at the Miami apartment in April, according to the Miami Herald.

Clenney said she threw the knife at her friend from more than 10 feet away, but Fernandez said the autopsy revealed a deep wound that could only have been inflicted at close range.
Released 911 audio after the stabbing revealed Clenney telling her former lover, “honey, I’m so sorry” after she allegedly stuck the knife in.
She did not tell the operator that she had stabbed him, but sobbed to him that she was sorry.
In the background, Obumseli, 27, could be heard shouting: “I can’t feel my arm.”
Graphic case photos have revealed she stabbed her much larger boyfriend inches above a tattoo with her name in cursive on the left side of his chest.
Obumseli’s family said at the time that it showed she intended to kill him, but regretted it when she saw what she had done.
Clenney is being sued by Obumseli’s family for negligence after he was arrested and charged with manslaughter four months after the murder.
Her lawyers claim she attacked her boyfriend after a “history of abuse” and filed a restraining order against him just days before the attack.
